The Multi-Station Hip Joint Simulator is a specialized tribological testing device designed to simulate friction and wear behavior of artificial hip joints under physiological gait conditions. Driven by motors and servo-pneumatic loading systems, it reproduces anatomically realistic motions of the femoral head against the acetabular cup with dynamic bi-axial loading. The simulator supports multiple stations running in parallel, providing a cost-effective solution for long-term wear testing, research, and quality evaluation of hip implants.
Application
You can use this simulator for:
In vitro wear simulation of total or partial hip joints.
Evaluating wear performance of femoral head and acetabular cup material pairings.
Studying metal–polymer, ceramic–ceramic, and ceramic–polymer bearing combinations.
Investigating long-term wear and failure mechanisms of artificial joints.
Comparative testing during medical device R&D.
Type testing and consistency verification of hip joint products.
Biotribology research at universities and research institutes.
Regulatory testing, product registration, and quality control of artificial hip joints.
Standards
ASTM F732 – Reciprocating Pin-on-Plate Wear Test (applied to joint simulators).
